Down riggers damn near stolen last night!

[King_Cod]

Even though I'm insured for gear loss I remove everything from my boat. Big time pain in the butt to replace gear!

I normally take them in too. I used them a couple weeks back and they hadnt made their way back in the house. Lesson learned, sure was fun though! I didnt get much of a description of them though, was dark and I was seeing red. I called the cops. They came and took the riggers for prints. I put a thorn in the local paper, I hope they print it.

Awesome...
But friggin' 9:30pm I thought these low lifes hit around 2-3 am.

Good for ya bud!
cheers

Dave: It made the paper, well the electronic version anyway, (see my post above).

It also went out on Twitter - that's how I found it.

lol...probably look pretty funny with a 60 inch boom stickin out of his azz, dragging a 15 pound ball...holmes*

Ahhh, Holmes,

We can always count on you to conjure the imagination. LMAO!

 

[vetteman]

similar story vetteman?...holmes*

Yeah, somewhat similar.Fortunately I got a break!
I leave nothing of real value in my boat.Electronics,kicker,riggers,all go into a locked and alarmed shop.

I think I found the scene of the crime IFL. Fair bit of glass on the ground a couple blocks south of your place

Have been hearing reports on the news every morning this week that vehicle break-ins aren't on the rise or spiking here in CR and other communities. That being the case why are they suddenly the topic of almost every news broadcast? The RC's say that most of these guys tend to be transients that move around from town to town until caught or there's nothing left to steal.

Used to live in a town of 700 people once and never had to lock the doors on anything. Buddy from the city shows up one day and tells me I'm crazy. I say "Not a lot of crime way out here. It's a close knit community"

He just looks at me and says " Not the locals you need to worry about. It's the commuters".

Sounds like good advice nowadays. Time to lock and load.

Its no wonder how IFL caught up to these guys! The name on the side of his boat says it all, Pursuit....lol,.. sorry, but just had to post it. Sorry about your loss. Will keep an eye out for a car with a broken window.,............BB

 

[Island Fish Lifter]

The only loss was the windshield in the idiots car! Thats actually a gain for me!

 

[steelheadstalker31]

That is awsome. Glad you got your down rigger back and glad they came out on the bad end of the deal.

 

[morganic]

sweet story. should be pretty easy to spot that car. especially with all the extra sfbc eyes

 

[the fog ducker]

Don't think they'll be back any time soon , good on ya IFL

fd

 

[Duffer]

Nicely done IFL hope you didnt scare them down our way. I noticed in last weeks paper the RCMP in the Valley just nabbed a couple young Car Break in idiots. I guess there house was full of goodies.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

For sure LFL holds a grudge. For sure he is going to catch those thieves. Just went by his home the other day, and saw a step ladder placed next the rear port side of his boat in sight of his living room window! A big LURE for them to bite on!!! BTW, still keeping an eye out for a dark car with a broken window......BB
